It's been confirmed that the changes made to fighting are indeed intentional. There currently is a 2 point experience cap and a 0% loot drop rate when attacking an iced opponent.
Al Catraz, Super Moderator, jumped ship on the discussion thread that I was participating on. He did pop into the discussion thread titled
Fighting nurfed to 2 xp points and no loot and made the following statement.
Since the Power Attack feature was introduced, it's harder to find somebody that isn't iced. Here is a random shot of my PvP fight list. There are only 5 living targets. I think this change is going to make it even harder to find living opponents. Blowing through my 2,000+ stamina pool will now take a lot more time.
If Zynga doesn't want us to use third party scripts, they need to figure out a way for higher level players to utilize their resources in a reasonable amount of time. The numbers will continue to drop if we keep getting nerfed.

Interesting stats... Z has lost 10% of it's players in one month... I know that it has been ongoing since February. From a high of 25 million to 18 million in 6 months, that is not good that is a net loss of 28% of players... and getting worse. I have been playing since Apr 09 and have tried to stay flexible, but now it is really more like "Mafia Choirs".
ReplyDeleteYeah, my thoughts exactly. what a pain in the ass! nice stats there jenn, will have to check them out. i've definately witnessed many people give up. It really does seem like top mafia bonuses are virtually non-existant compared to what they used be. AND robbing seems to be nerfed. what are they doing to us?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone really think that Zynga cares if millions of people quit playing? They are intentionally trying to drive away people who do not spend money buying gf points. Free players cost them money. So, the goal is to anger us enough that we either reach into our pockets and spend money to buy gf points or that we quit playing entirely.
ReplyDeleteSorry to say but I spend money - or used to and I will quit if they keep this up. I think they have changed gifting as well without saying anything.
ReplyDeleteI am a Lvl 2000+ player... been playing for over 2 years now... but i'm fucking sick of Zynga screwing us on a regular basis.... and this final insult is going to push me to quit playing any and all games from Zynga... Hey ZYNGA dickheads....... if you r reading this... i only have one thing to say to all of you... "FUCK YOU!"
